<H2>NAME</H2><PRE>
     <B>mbsinit</B> - initializes multibyte character shift state


</PRE>
<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2><PRE>
     <B>#include</B> <B>&lt;wchar.h&gt;</B>

     <I>int</I>
     <B>mbsinit</B>(<i>const mbstate_t * pst</I>)


</PRE>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
     If ps is not a null pointer, the mbsinit function determines whether the
     pointed-to mbstate_t object describes an initial conversion state.


</PRE>
<H2>RETURN VALUES</H2><PRE>
     The <B>mbsinit</B>() function returns nonzero if ps is a null pointer or if the
     pointed-to object describes an initial conversion state; otherwise, it
     returns zero.
     This function has not been actually implemented. So it will always return 0.
